1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

India is a land of spices and medicinal plants. Ayurvedic medications and methods are commonly practised in India for curing several ailments. Lepidium sativum (garden cress) is an important herb that belongs to Brassicaceae family. It is believed that the plant has its origin in Ethiopia but is now cultivated throughout the world. The plant is well-known in Ayurveda for its beneficial properties it holds. The present study describes the fracture healing property of the methanolic and aqueous extract of Lepidium sativum seeds. For the study, 21 Charles foster rats were used. They were grouped into three groups each containing seven rats: control, methanolic, and aqueous group. Rats were anesthetized using ether vapors and fractures were induced in each rat from all the three groups using hand held three-point bending technique. The broken bone fragments were then stabilized using splints. The control group was administered with normal saline, along with food and water, post-fracture. The methanolic group was administered with the methanolic extract of Lepidium sativum seeds at dose of 400 mg/kg given orally, post-fracture along with food and water. The third group received aqueous extract of the seeds in doses of 550 mg/kg orally, along with daily food and water intake for a period of 8 weeks. The results were evaluated both radiologically and biochemically. X-rays were done on day 0, 2
